    Detent Valve Adjustment

    My M5-111 has a detent valve and a standard float valve. I have the tailgate of my JD 459 baler connected to the detent valve. The detent valve should “lock” when depressed then cancel”return to neutral” when the tailgate opens fully and closes fully. This functions sometimes as long as the...

    2032R Price Check

    I'm looking at a 2032R from a neighbor with a belly mower, loader, and barely used Deere 46 backhoe. The tractor is a 2016 with less than 100 hours and looks new. He wants 18K. This seems like a fair deal based on the deere "build your own" site. I cant believe how much $$ these...

    2018 5075e Accelerator Pedal Bounce

    On my new 5075e I cannot keep the engine RPMs steady using the foot throttle. The hand throttle is fine, but using the foot throttle, I am getting a ton of "bounce". Feels like maybe not enough friction, or needs a heavier spring or something. Anyone know if there is an adjustment or heavier...

    What Kind of Couplers Do I Have

    I have a newly installed diverter kit installed on a 5075e. It came with 2 female ag type couplers installed on the front of the loader. My grapple has the flat faced couplers so I have to switch out one or the other. I decided to go with the flat faced mainly cause I always forget to use the...

    New 2018 5075E Want to Add 3rd Function

    My new 5075E was delivered yesterday. I am now already wanting to start modifications to make the tractor as useful for my needs as possible. I am replacing a Kubota L3240 which I had installed the factory 3rd function kit. I initially thought on the new 5075 I would just run the hoses to the...

    12 Foot Folding Wing Rotary Cutters

    I'm in the market for a 12 ft. cutter and on the fence as to brand and options. I didn't see any recent topics comparing models so I'd like to open a new discussion. The brands I'm considering are the Landpride RC2512, the Woods BW12, and the Rhino TS12. I've priced all three locally and all...

    L3240 Woods Subframe

    I am buying a used Woods Groundbreaker BH 9000 from a friend who upgraded to a new bx90. I have a L3240 and a couple questions. 1) Is this hoe too big for the L3240 or is this a good fit? 2) I have to buy a subframe. Are these still available and about what is the ballpark cost? Where can I...

    Gelled Fuel

    I think my fuel may have become gelled. Bought 400 gallon of fuel back in the summer so maybe it had no treatment? Anyway it痴 been single digits here with windchills below zero. I keep my 5083e plugged in so it always fires right up. However, went to set out hay and about 100 yards it quits...

    How much smoke?

    I have a 2011 5083e with 750 hours. This evening I was late getting home from work and had to set out hay after dark. With the front work lights shinning through the exhaust it seemed like a lot of smoke. I've never noticed this before. Is some visible smoke normal for this year model? Maybe...

    Flow Control Valve Help

    I am in need of some advice on how I can lower the flow on one of my rear tractor remotes for a hydraulic tie system on a round baler. The baler has a hydraulic tie system but there is no adjustment as to the speed. I have to either stop in increments across the tie area or manually throttle...

    5083e SCV flow adjustment

    I am needing to slow the flow for operating a baler hydraulic tie. I can't seem to find a flow adjustment on either of the SCV valves on my 5083e. Just wondering if I'm missing something or the flow isn't adjustable. Thanks

    Convert valve to self-canceling detent

    I have a JD 5083e which has 2 rear remotes both with non-detent valves. I need one of the valves to be self canceling detent for operating a round baler tailgate. Can one of these valves be converted or do i have to just replace the valve?
